Thermaltake Water2.0 Pro CPU Cooler Review

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro 120MM Dual PWM

Thermaltake has been around for as long as I can remember. Over the years they have made just about every accessory for a PC. They have even done water cooling. In the past Thermaltake had the Big Water series, a user assembled kit that took a couple of 5.25″ drive bays and could be expanded on. Then came the Pro Water series, which was also a user assembled kit that mounted in a more traditional way like most custom water loops. Both the Big Water and Pro Water kits where expandable, so GPU water blocks and extra radiators could be added to the loop.

Now Thermaltake has teamed up with Asetek and brought the Water2.0 line to market. The Water2.0 line consists of 3 All-In-One sealed water coolers.

The Water2.0 Performer, a slim 120mm radiator cooler with twin fans.

The Water2.0 Pro, a thick 120mm radiator cooler with twin fans.

The Water2.0 Extreme, a thin 240mm radiator with twin fans.

We recently looked at the budget friendly Water2.0 Performer that retails for $62.99 shipped and found it to be a very good cooler for the money. Today we have the Water2.0 Pro for you to take a closer look at. The Water2.0 Pro runs $98.91 shipped and features a double thick 120mm aluminum construction radiator with twin 120mm fans in a push/pull arrangement. The Thermaltake Water2.0 Pro costs 57% more, so it will be interesting how much better performance will be.

The fans are PWM controlled and operate between 1200 to 2000 RPM pushing a max of 81.3CFM @ 27.4dBA.

The water block is all copper and the pump is connected to the radiator with flexible black rubber tubing.
